Product Description
Green Mountain Boxwood is a compact upright evergreen shrub with fine bright green leaves that may bronze in winter. Small clusters of green-cram flowers bloom in spring. Prefers part shade and well-drained soils, as it is prone to burning if planted in full sun. Drought tolerant once established. Green Mountain’s naturally cone-shaped habit makes it an excellent choice for topiary forms.
